Support for Ukraine
The Europlanet 2024 RI project offered some short-term positions, bursaries and mobility grants for displaced colleagues needing support to travel within the EU, and within Ukraine.
Researchers in astronomy, citizens/residents of Ukraine, are also welcome to apply for bursaries for the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC), including the EPSC-DPS2025 Joint Meeting. Bursary applications are integrated into the abstract submission process.
